Introduction

On June 8, 1955, during the first session of the 84th Congress, the
House of Representatives on the recommendation of the Committee
on Public Works passed a bill (H. R. 6410) authorizing the construc-
tion of a building for a Museum of History and Technology for the
Smithsonian Institution at a cost not to exceed $36,000,000, including
the preparation of plans and specifications, and all other work inci-
dental thereto. Following a favorable report by the Committee on
Public Works of the Senate of the United States, the same bill passed
the Senate by unanimous consent on June 17, 1955. The President of
the United States on June 28, 1955, approved the Act of Congress
(Public Law 106) which authorizes and directs the Regents of the
Smithsonian Institution to plan and construct this museum building.
In this building will be housed the collections now displayed in the
Arts and Industries building of the United States National Museum.

Funds Allotted

From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the opera-
tions of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal
year 1955, the sum of $1,136,016 was allotted to the United States
National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the
national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and
geological collections, as well as materials illustrative of engineering,
industry, graphic arts and history (this amount includes sums ex-
pended for the program of exhibits modernization).

Exhibits

The program of modernizing exhibits, initiated during the pre-
ceding year, was continued in 1955 by a Congressional allotment of
$360,000. Contracts were awarded and work commenced on the
North American mammal and the bird halls and construction was
started on the cultural history (the colonial tradition in America) |
and the power machinery halls.

Anthropology

On the evening of June 2, 1955, President William M. Milliken of
the American Association of Museums and Secretary Leonard Car-
michael of the Smithsonian Institution formally opened to the public
the newly modernized American Indian hall in a ceremony scheduled
as part of the program of the 50th anniversary meeting of the Asso-
ciation. The ethnographic displays in this hall range geographi-
cally from Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of South America,
through Latin America, to southwestern United States and Cali-
fornia. The life-size groups in the displays portray various aspects
of the ways of life of these historic Indian cultures and are a legacy
from the past, having been designed by the talented artist and former
head curator of anthropology, Dr. William H. Holmes. Some were
exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in 1893.
Five miniature dioramas supplement these life-size family groups, and
portray (1) the Indians who met Columbus; (2) life in a Yosemite
Indian village in the fall of the year, when acorns are being collected ;
(3) a sacred ceremony in the antelope kiva of the Hopi Indians;
(4) terrace farming among the Inca; and (5) a camp scene among
the Yahgan Indians, the southernmost people in the world. Wall
cases illustrate the basic economy of each culture in terms of food,
clothing, shelter, and handicrafts.

A selection of the 53 displays that comprise this hall are illustrated
on the pages that follow. These displays were the product of close
cooperation between Associate Curator of Ethnology John C. Ewers,
who planned the hall and suggested the case layouts, and the group
of artists who designed and installed the exhibits under the creative
direction of Exhibits Specialist John E. Anglim. Working with Mr.
Anglim were T. G. Baker, R. O. Hower, W. T. Marinetti, E. H. Nor-
mandin, Jr., and M. M. Pearson. Three of the dioramas were fash-
ioned by Exhibits Preparator A. Joseph Andrews and two others

Wild seeds, principally acorns, were an important food resource which
the Hupa women collected and processed. Men hunted and fished.

CALIFORNIA

Pomo women of northwestern
California were noted for making
some of the world’s most finely
woven baskets.

Clamshell beads and dentalia,
another shell, took the place of
money in trade among the tribes
of California Indians.

religious rites. (This is a diorama.)

Many changes in style have

than 1500 years of pottery-
making. These examples are from
the late 19th century.

APACHE AND NAVAHO

: oe ose peer

Navaho craftsmen scarcely 100 years
ago learned from the Mexicans how
to work metal. Today they make
beautiful silver ornaments for sale
and for their own use.

The Cocopa gained a liveli-
hood in the deserts of
Mexico along the lower Col-
orado River by growing crops
in the irrigated river bottoms,
hunting small game, and
fishing.

In their preference for buckskin cloth-
ing, the Apache resembled neighbor-
ing tribes of the Great Plains.

The Apache traditionally wove
coiled baskets and also painted and
beaded articles of buckskin. Their
crafts were like those of the South-
western and Plains Indians.

In the Mexican-border region the
desert-dwelling Pima were skilled
potters, basketmakers, and weavers
of cotton blankets and belts. The
cotton they grew in irrigated fields.

The tribes of Tierra del Fuego are the southernmost people of the world.
Contrasted here are the customs of the Yahgan canoemen, who wore few
clothes and sought their food by the sea, and the Ona footmen, who
hunted the swift-footed Ilama-like guanaco, their principal source of
food, clothing, and shelter.

The horse, introduced by the Spanish, enabled the bola-using Tehuelche
to become more effective nomadic hunters on the grasslands of
Axvrgentina.

were prepared in the Museum Laboratory of the National Park
Service from Mr. Ewers’ specifications.

After many months of planning by Associate Curator C. Malcolm
Watkins and Chief Exhibits Preparator John E. Anglim, and with
the cooperation of Public Buildings Service, construction was begun
in Hall 26 on exhibits depicting colonial life in North America. In
a series of 50 case exhibits and 6 period rooms household furnishings
as well as useful and decorative arts will be displayed to illustrate
domestic customs from the earliest settlements along the Atlantic
Coast to about 1830. Two of the latter will be ground floor rooms
of the complete 2-story 17th-century house from Everett, Mass., the
gift of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood of Marlboro, Mass.

An instructive exhibit, “Folk Pottery of Early New England,” was
installed in an alcove of the ground floor foyer of the Natural History
Building by Mr. Watkins and the exhibits preparators. The redware
and stoneware there displayed were selected from the gift collection
of Mrs. Lura Woodside Watkins.

The drama of the buffalo-hunting Plains Indian, the warfare he
waged in defense of his way of life, and the coming of the frontier—
these historical incidents provided themes for special exhibitions in
which the U. S. National Museum participated. Paintings and
drawings of Indian subjects made by such early 19th century Ameri-
can artists as George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Charles Bird King,
H. Stieffel, and Gustavus Sohon, were lent to various museums and
galleries throughout the United States.

Owing to its unique character and outstanding interest a figurine
of wood, basketry, and cloth from the central coast of Peru, dated
about A. D. 1100, was installed in a special case at the south end of
the hall, “Highlights of Latin American Archeology.”

During June 1955, a display of casts illustrating skeletal age changes
in young American males was installed among the semipublic exhibits
maintained in the third-floor corridors of the Natural History Build-
ing. A temporary exhibit, “The Sickle Cell Disease in Man,” de-
veloped by Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman in collaboration
with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, was shown at the
annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences on April 25,
1955.

Zoology

During the year the exhibits staff of the department of zoology
completed the installation of the puma, Alaska wolf, pronghorn
antelope, and Virginia deer in the recently constructed habitat units.
For the bison group in this North American mammal hall, the Fish
and Wildlife Service provided three animals from the National Bison
Range. Chief Exhibits Preparator W. L. Brown made a trip to

Amidon and Bismarck, N. Dak., and to the Bison Range at Moiese,
Mont., for habitat photographs, background accessories, and related
materials.

In the bird hall work was completed on all construction. Also
completed was one habitat group, depicting the bird life of the Ant-
arctic, in which five emperor and three Adelie penguins, a skua, a
kelp gull, and a snow petrel are shown. The paintings on the back-
grounds of display units for the hoatzin, Carolina parakeet, bower
bird, honey-guide, and palm chat were essentially finished at the
close of the fiscal year. The paintings of flying birds for the ceiling
of this hall were completed and the installation of some exhibits was
commenced.

Notable among a special series of small exhibits of insects placed
on display in the foyer of the Natural History Building was an
exhibit of Morpho butterflies showing sexual dimorphism and the
contrast between physical and chemical coloration.

Geology

Planning for the medernization of the geological exhibits has been
resumed. ‘The general plans and layouts of the halls for minerals,
invertebrate fossils, and the lower vertebrate fossils have been deter-
mined. Associate Curator David H. Dunkle and Exhibits Worker
G. Donald Guadagni were in the field during the last five weeks of the
fiscal year searching the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fossil
fish needed to complete the exhibition series. Curator G. A. Cooper
of the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany visited
the University of Michigan and the Chicago Museum of Natural
History for consultations regarding installation of proposed restora-
tions of fossil life in the hall of fossil invertebrates. Preparation of
the giant ground sloth material from Panama has been completed
and two skeletons have been assembled for mounting and installation
in the exhibition hall.

Engineering and Industries

The detailed planning of the power machinery hall was completed
during the year, the plans and specifications were reviewed, and the
preparation of exhibits for installation was in progress. The ex-
hibits in this hall illustrate the development of power machinery by
means of original machines, models, and graphic devices. Several
new models of pioneer power machines were constructed by Donald
H. Berkebile, modelmaker, in the exhibits workshop. The actual
construction of this hall will start shortly after the close of this fiscal
year. Both the hall of horse-drawn and locomotive transportation,
which was painted under the buildings renovation program, and the

EXHIBITS 5

boat hall have been greatly improved by the installation of fluorescent
lighting. In order to improve the display of instruments in the me-
trology section, all but the more significant have been put in storage.
New exhibits on the development of the balance and the early instru-
ments of astronomy and surveying are now complete.

Tn the hall of textiles eight new exhibits were installed and four
were renovated. A noteworthy new one traces asbestos from early
superstitious use to modern times, and another, “American Cotton
Before Columbus,” features important early Peruvian fabrics. An
exhibit on hand spinning, one on machine spinning, and four on the
development of the loom through fly-shuttle weaving were completed.

Tn the section of manufactures an addition was made to the Fessen-
den exhibit of plant and insect specimens preserved in plastic. The
tire exhibit and opposite cases were repainted to harmonize with the
recently painted south hall, and the appearance of the south hall gal-
lery was further improved by a rearrangement of cases, the repainting
of two wall cases, and the renovation of the sealskin exhibit. A new
exhibit of patent models of harrows, arranged against a large photo-
mural background of a harrow in use, was installed. The planter
exhibit was moved to a lighted case, enlarged, and relabeled.

An outline of the plans for the hall of health was circulated to pro-
fessionally interested individuals and institutions for comment. The
theme of this hall will be man’s knowledge of his body then and now, a
comparison of old and present ideas and knowledge of the human
body.

Exhibits designed and constructed in the division of medicine and
public health during the past year include an introductory exhibit,
pointing out the highlights of the gallery of medical history, and
presenting a brief historical orientation to medical science; “A Tele-
gram From Your Heart,” showing the historical evolution of the
electrocardiograph, and featuring Dr. Frank Wilson’s original electro-
cardiograph; an 1875 dental office containing the significant office
equipment of Dr. G. V. Black, pioneer in dental education; “Hearing
Aids, from Cupped Hand to Transistor,” tracing the development of
the hearing aid; “Mortar and Pestle, Symbol of Pharmacy,” showing
the chronological development of the mortar and pestle from the stone
mortar to the Wedgwood mortar; “The Pharmaceutical Balance,”
tracing the evolution of the balances used in pharmacy; “Percolation,”
describing the historical devolpment of this important pharmaceutical
process; “Compressed Tablets vs. Handmade Pills,” tracing the evolu-
tion of the pill machine and the tablet press; “Milestones in Cardi-
ology,” a portrait exhibit of pioneers of cardiology; “Sculpture Por-
traits of Medical Greats,” featuring ten plaques by sculptress Doris
Appel; “Suppository Mold: Past and Present,” an exhibit showing

6 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

the evolution of the suppository mold from paper cone to compression
mold; an exhibit featuring the William R. Warner original pill-
coating pan and pitcher, used for sugar-coating pills; an exhibit
featuring the original Scherer gelatin capsulating machine; “Pre-
scriptions Around the World,” a collection of medical prescriptions
from the far corners of the globe; and an exhibit of apothecary show
globes of the late 19th century.

Exhibits prepared by donors, with the guidance of the associate
curator of the division, and installed in the division of medicine and
public health during the past year, include “The Dodrill-GMR
Mechanical Heart,” presented by General Motors Research Labora-
tories; “Allergies,” featuring an animated step-by-step demonstration
of typical allergic reactions, presented by Ciba Pharmaceutical Prod-
ucts, Inc.; “Binding up a Wound,” an exhibit presented by Johnson
and Johnson to show the evolution of surgical dressings and featuring
a Peruvian skull, some 1,500 years old, on which ancient cotton gauze
is held in place by several strands of strong llama-hair cord; “Take
Away That Bitter Taste,” tracing the evolution of flavoring medicines,
presented by Dodge and Olcott, Inc.; “Your Height and Weight,”
contributed by the American Medical Association; “The Story of the
Ampoule,” presented by Parke, Davis Company; and “The Evolution
of Medical Illustrating,” contrasting early anatomical illustrations
and present day medical illustrations, lent by artist Paul Peck of
Sudler and Hennessey, Inc. In addition Eli Lilly completely refur-
bished their exhibit, “Insulin and Diabetes.”

In cooperation with the American Institute of the History of Phar-
macy, the division of medicine and public health sponsored a pictorial
exhibit tracing the evolution of the drug store at the 75th anniversary
meeting of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association, in Madison,
Wise.

Jacob Kainen, curator of the division of graphic arts, and J. Harry
Phillips, Jr., museum aide, began a complete revision of the exhibits
dealing with the techniques of picture printing. The photogravure
and rotogravure sections have been completed and the section on the
halftone relief process is partially completed. Lighting has been
installed in the hall for the first time.

In the section of photography material was gathered for exhibits
relating to the history of stereophotography and to early motion pic-
ture devices. <A series of new exhibits in the northwest gallery relat-
ing to the development of the camera shutter, the camera lens, artificial
light and instantaneous photography, and the applications of photog-
raphy to everyday life, to science and industry, to welfare, and to
education are in the planning stage.

History

The First Ladies hall was formally opened on May 24, 1955, with
the President of the United States and Mrs. Eisenhower participating
in the dedication. The eight large display units in this hall, designed
to represent different rooms in the White House from its earliest
period to the present time, contain architectural details received
from the White House during its recent reconstruction. They afford
the visitor an opportunity to view the dresses in surroundings similar
to those in which they were originally worn. Each room contains
from three to six dresses representing a time span of about 20 years.
The changing styles in White House decoration shown in these rooms
are based on available pictorial evidence and written descriptions.

§ U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

An exhibit illustrating the history of the United States Marine
Corps was dedicated on August 10, 1954, in a section of the hall of
naval history by Secretary Carmichael and General Lemuel C. Shep-
herd, Commandant of the Marine Corps. In it the historical develop-
ment of this organization is traced by means of a series of uniforms,
swords, and miscellaneous items owned by notable officers and enlisted
men.

A special exhibition, “History under the Sea,” was displayed in the
foyer of the Natural History Building from July 20 to August 20,
1954, and subsequently for about three months in the rotunda of the
Arts and Industries Building.

Seventy-six double frames in the philatelic exhibit cases were
used to display an exceptionally complete series of United States
revenue stamps transferred from the Internal Revenue Service. Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue T. Coleman Andrews made the presen-
tation to Secretary Carmichael on October 12, 1954.

Anthropology

A unique gift to the division of archeology was the figure of a
human, made from wood, cloth and basketry, recovered from a grave
along the central coast of Peri and dating from about A. D. 1100.
This unusual object was presented by Mrs. Virginia Morris Pollak
as a gift from the Arther Morris collection. A series of large archeo-
logical collections taken from excavation projects in various parts
of the Missouri Basin has been transferred to the Museum by the
River Basin Surveys. <A willow splint figure of a quadruped, prob-
ably prehistoric, from a cave in Grand Canyon, was presented by
Dr. J. D. Jennings, of the University of Utah.

The division of ethnology received from Ralph Solecki numerous
ethnological objects which he obtained, while conducting archeological
cal work in Iraq, from his native employees and their relatives among
the Shirwani Kurds of Kurdistan. Also accessioned were 28 items
of Afghan material culture, consisting of pottery, basketry, weavings
and quilted clothing, a Khyber knife, and Mohammedan cult objects,
collected in 1954 by the donor, Miss May Wilder, from villagers and
country folk in Afghanistan. Another gift was a well-documented
collection of 34 miscellaneous ethnographical specimens from the
Anuak, a Sudanese tribe living in the environs of the Akobo River,
collected by the donor, Miss Joan Yilek, prior to 1953 at Pokwo,
Ethiopia, while she was stationed there as a missionary. Most ex-
traordinary was the gift by Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood of
Marlboro, Mass., of an entire two-story, four-room house, built in
Kiverett, Mass., in 1678. The hand-hewn timbers of this early Ameri-
can home were dismantled and reassembled for future exhibition.
W. Dan Quattlebaum, Pasadena, Calif., presented two outstanding
examples of 18th-century glass, consisting of an engraved glass bowl
blown in 1789 at John Frederick Amelung’s New Bremen Glassworks
in Frederick County, Md., and a decanter of about 1795 bearing an
engraved American eagle.

- ACCESSIONS 11

The division of physical anthropology had an opportunity through
collaborative studies to restore a badly crushed human skull which
had been recovered by Dr. Fred Wendorf near Midland, Tex. This
skull was found associated with Folsom type projectile points. Dr.
T. Dale Stewart, curator of physical anthropology, who restored the
skull, arranged with Dr. F. J. McClure of the National Institute of
Dental Research to test the skull and associated Pleistocene animal
bones for the amount of fluorine. On the basis of these tests and the
excavation record, the age of this skull is considered to be around
12,000 years.

Zoology

The armed forces research teams operating in various parts of the
world continued to make major contributions to the mammal collec.
tions. Specimens of Korean mammals, including the Museum’s first
collection from Quelpart Island, were transferred through the Hemor-
rhagic Fever Commission from the Army Medical Service Graduate
School. A transfer from Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 at
Cairo included about 350 specimens from Egypt and the Sudan. The
U.S. Army, through the 25th Preventive Medicine Survey Detach-
ment, transferred a collection of specimens obtained by Capt. Gordon
Field and C. M. Keenan in Panamé and the Canal Zone. Dr. Robert
K. Enders contributed three separate collections of small mammals
from Pakistan, the Island of Saipan in the Marianas, and Wyoming.
An especially fine collection of dog and wolf skulls was included
among specimens excavated from an aboriginal site on Southampton
Island by Dr. Henry B. Collins, Bureau of American Ethnology, on
the National Geographic Society-Smithsonian Institution-National
Museum of Canada Expedition.

Most noteworthy among the accessions recorded by the division
of birds was a gift of 1,255 bird skins from the “Benson Grubstakers”
(a group of young men living in Panama who are interested in natural
history) and the Panama Canal Natural History Society. A gift
from Maj. Gen. G. R. Meyer, U.S. Army, of 119 sets of eggs with full
data, largely from the Canal Zone, added important information to
that already available on the breeding dates of Panamanian birds.
A deposit made by the Smithsonian Institution comprised 959 skins,
54 skeletons, 2 alcoholics, and 1 set of eggs collected by Dr. A. Wetmore.
The National Geographic Society presented a small but geograph-
ically important collection of 131 birds obtained in French Equatorial
Africa by Walter. A. Weber.

A considerable number of valuable herpetological specimens were
accessioned as gifts: a type and 18 paratypes of a new species of frog
taken in Jamaica by Dr. W. Gardner Lynn; 119 reptiles and amphib-

iy U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

ians from Virginia, including a type and paratypes of a new species
of salamander, from Richard L. Hoffman; 8 reptiles from Puttur,
Chittoor District, Madras, India, including a genus and 8 species not
formerly contained in the Museum collection, presented by Rev. Erwin
Chell. A transfer from the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 at
Cairo yielded 390 Egyptian reptiles and amphibians.

The largest collection of fishes received during the year consisted
of 2,341 specimens from freshwater streams in the southeastern United
States collected for the Museum by Dr. Ernest Lachner and Frank
J. Schwartz. Another large gift was composed of 1,813 reef fishes
collected in the Gilbert Islands by the donor, John Randall. Addi-
tional gifts included the holotype of a new scorpaenid fish from the
eastern Pacific through John EK. Fitch; and the holotype of a new
Monocentris from Mas-a-Tierra Island from Dr. Edwyn P. Reed,
Valparaiso, Chile. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service transferred
to the Museum the most important Atlantic collection received in
several years, 983 fishes obtained by George C. Miller in Liberia.
Through exchanges with other institutions the Museum received 6
paratypes of cyprinids from México through Dr. José Alvarez, Es-
cuela Nacional de Ciencias Biologicas; the paratype of a frogfish,
from the Chicago Natural History Museum through Loren P. Woods;
and 3 paratypes of a Mexican catfish, from the Instituto Mexicano de
Recursos Naturales Renovables, through Dr. Jorge Caranza.

One of the most valuable acquisitions of insects received was the
W. M. Mann collection, consisting of 136,288 specimens, of which over
116,000 are ants. Approximately 700 types and hundreds of species
of ants from many areas in the world not previously represented in
Washington were included in this group. Among the important
transfers from the U. S. Department of Agriculture was the S. W.
Bromley collection of well over 35,000 specimens. This accession,
rich in material representative of the dipterous family Asilidae, places
the Museum high on the list among the institutions possessing ex-
tensive collections of these flies. Another transfer included 34,258
entomological specimens from the Department’s Laboratory of Forest
Insects, New Haven, Conn. Over 9,000 medically important “black-
flies” were received as a transfer from the U.S. Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare.

Two notable gifts greatly enhanced the collection of polychaete
worms maintained by the division of marine invertebrates; 3,645
specimens, mostly from New England, including 3 holotypes and 3
paratypes from Dr. Marian Pettibone, University of New Hampshire,
and more than 200 identified specimens from the Gold Coast, Africa,
received from the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden,
through Dr. L. B. Holthuis. Twelve lots of octocorals were received

ACCESSIONS 13

from His Imperial Majesty’s collections, Laboratory of the Imperial
Household, Tokyo, Japan. Other noteworthy gifts to the collections
were 7 remarkable fossil sea-pens presented by Mr. H. G. Kugler,
Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad, and 3 large balanoglossid worms from
Grand Isle, La., given by Dr. Harry J. Bennett, Louisiana State Uni-
versity. Three exchanges from Dr. Alejandro Villalobos F., Uni-
versidad Nacional A. de México, brought 54 isopod and decapod
crustaceans of which 34 were paratype specimens. Among the trans-
fers was one from the Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department
of the Interior, which included more than 1,019 crustaceans and other
invertebrates collected in the Gulf of Mexico by the exploratory fish-
ing vessel Oregon under the direction of Stewart Springer.

The division of mollusks received types of seven new species of
nudibranch mollusks described and presented by J. M. Ostergaard.
From the Gulf of Mexico 34 specimens of gastropods, including the
types of 3 new species, were donated by Daniel Steger. As in the
past, Jeanne S. Schwengel gave many fine specimens to the Museum,
including a specimen of the rare cowrie Cypraea armeniaca from
South Australia. Of the year’s five accessions of helminths two are
worthy of special mention because they brought types of two new
species: Onchocotyle sommiosi, a trematode described by the donor,
Dr. David Causey, and Gigantobilharzia huttoni, presented by the
author, Dr. W. Henry Leigh.

The most important accession of corals is comprised of some 400
specimens from the Great Barrier Reef off Queensland, Australia,
collected and donated by Dr. John W. Wells, Cornell University.

Botany

Two significant collections were obtained for the Museum by staff
members: 2,850 specimens, largely grasses, in the States of San Luis
Potosi and Chiapas, México, collected by Dr. Ernest R. Sohns, and
3,445 specimens from Big Pine Key, Fla., and Isle of Pines, Cuba,
obtained by E. P. Killip, research associate.

Among the numerous collections received as gifts with names re-
quested, one is especially noteworthy, 588 plants from the Herbario
“Barbosa Rodriques,” Itajai, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The Ohio State
University presented 4,084 plants of Guatemala collected by W. A.
Kellerman many years ago, including numerous historically important
specimens. KE. C. Leonard of the department staff donated his
private herbarium consisting of approximately 9,300 specimens ac-
cumulated over a period of many years.

Transfers from other government agencies yielded several fine
collections : from the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, 983 specimens collected by Richard Evans Schultes in

14 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

Colombia; 5,066 specimens collected in India, Afghanistan, and Iran
by Walter Koelz; and a historic set of 575 central European crypto-
gams, the Kryptogamae Germaniae Exsiccatae; from the U. S. Geo-
logical Survey, 1,360 plants of Alaska with a request for identifica-
tions; and 1,105 plants of Micronesia collected by F. R. Fosberg. The
National Research Council through the Pacific Science Board trans-
ferred 532 plants of the Caroline Islands collected by S. F. Glassman.

Important exchanges included 2,009 plants of México, Central
America, and South America, from the Academy of Natural Sciences
of Philadelphia, collected by the late F. W. Pennell.

Geology

Outstanding gifts to the mineral collection are examples of the rare
minerals hurlburtite and bismutotantalite from Prof. E. Tavora; rare
iron and manganese phosphates from Finland from Dr. Mary Mrose;
of superb specimen of crystallized wolframite from Korea from C. S.
Whetzel; the rare uranium mineral kasolite, Hahn’s Peak, Colo., from
C. R. Reddington; and a combination of the rare minerals schallerite
and hedyphane, Franklin, N. J., from J. S. Albanese.

Included in the exhibition material added to the Roebling collection
were a group of large flawless axinite crystals of smoky lavender color
on actinolite from Madera County, Calif., a large benitoite crystal in
neptunite from San Benito County, Calif., and a bastnaesite crystal
from Madagascar weighing eleven pounds. A mass of native lead
weighing 80 pounds is one of the largest masses of this rare mineral
found at Langban, Sweden. A sharp dodecahedral crystal of grossu-
larite of an unusual pink color is one of the largest crystals of this
mineral known.

Among the outstanding exhibition specimens added to the Canfield
collection were a rich nodule of precious turquoise from the mines at
Villa Grove, Colo., a rare group of tourmaline crystals of bronze-
ereen color from Brazil, and a fine exhibition group of apophyllite
on prehnite from a newly discovered occurrence near Centreville, Va.

Gifts to the gem collection included a pink pearl from East Paki-
stan, presented by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mohammed
Ali, and an outstanding collection of 33 cut tourmalines weighing 118
carats, from W. F. Ingram, selected to show the color range of this
gem stone. An uncommon specimen received for the ore collection
was the limb bone of a dinosaur partially replaced by uraninite, from
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co. through T. O. Evans.

During the past year Dr. S. H. Perry donated 35 specimens of
meteorites. Among them was a stone of the Sylacauga fall, weighing
1,682 grams. Another individual of this fall became celebrated as the
first known case of a meteorite striking a person.

ACCESSIONS 15

The support of the Walcott fund again permitted staff members to
obtain important accessions in invertebrate paleontology and paleo-
botany. Specimens of Paleozoic invertebrates numbering 15,000
were collected by Dr. G. A. Cooper and Robert Main, and a very large
group of Mesozoic and Tertiary Foraminifera from the classic locali-
ties of Europe was obtained by Drs. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., and Helen
Tappan Loeblich.

Particular mention is made of the gift of 2,000 specimens of
Silurian and Devonian fossils from little known areas in New Bruns-
wick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec received from Dr. Arthur Boucot; and
800 Triassic invertebrate fossils from the Italian Alps from Dr.
Franco Rasetti. Important foraminiferal donations included 275
type specimens from the Cretaceous rocks of Cuba and Trinidad pre-
sented by Dr. P. Bronnimann; and 320 slides of type Recent Forami-
nifera and 305 foraminiferal slides from the North Atlantic from
Dr. Fred Phleger. Another very valuable gift was presented by
Drs. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., and Helen Tappan Loeblich of 1,000 micro-
samples and 3,500,000 specimens of mounted Foraminifera, with many
types, from the Cretaceous of Texas.

Through the Walcott fund a collection of about 600 specimens of
rare Paleocene and Eocene mammals was obtained by Dr. C. L. Gazin
and F. L. Pearce from southern Wyoming. Of particular interest
were an excellent skull and some skeletal material of the large panto-
dont mammal Coryphodon and two well preserved skulls of the
condylarth mammal Weniscothertum. Under the same fund Dr. D. H.
Dunkle collected fossil fish and reptile remains from Devonian,
Triassic, and Cretaceous rocks of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. An
outstanding gift was a nearly complete skull of the large sabre-tooth
cat Smilodon fatalis, collected from the Pleistocene deposits of Texas
by George Klett and presented to the Museum through James E.
Conklin. A remarkable collection of about 750 otoliths of teleostean
fishes from the Eocene lower Barton beds of Hampshire, England, and
representing 22 genera and 28 species was given by Dr. F. C. Stinton.

Engineering and Industries

A turbine reputed to be the first built by Charles Curtis, America’s
best known pioneer steam turbine inventor, was presented by the
Stevens Institute of Technology. Original radio apparatus was re-
ceived from the widow of Edwin Armstrong, comprising his regen-
erative receiver made about 1912, three superheterodyne receivers, a
super-regenerative circuit, and what is considered the oldest surviving
frequency modulation receiver.

The Dodrill-GMR Mechanical Heart, the first to be used success-
fully for the complete bypass of the human heart during surgery,

359492553

16 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

was presented by the General Motors Corporation through C. L.
McCuen of the Research Laboratories Division. The Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research gave the first Kinthoven string gal-
vanometer made in the United States for an electrocardiograph.
This was made in 1914 by Charles F. Hindle for Dr. Alfred E. Cohn.
An electrocardiograph used by Dr. Frank E. Wilson, a pioneer in the
field of electrocardiography, was presented by the University of
Michigan.

Several hundred drawings mostly of the details of early Bessemer
process steel plants made by the distinguished engineer, Alexander
Lyman Holley, were the gift of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

An elaborately carved roller cotton gin from India was received
from Mrs. Stanley M. Walker. A pink brocaded taffeta christening
blanket, known to have been used in 1827, was presented by Faith
Bradford, and a commemorative linen “We Offer Peace, Ready for
War” was given in the name of Sibyl Avery Perkins, deceased, by
her daughter, Mrs. Robert C. Johnson, Jr.

An unusual board section of curly yellow buckeye showing beauti-
ful blue stain markings, was presented by Ray E. Cottrell of the Wood
Collectors Society. Fifty microscope mounts of woods of the family
Celastraceae were received from John A. Boole, Jr., and 20 woods
and 20 corresponding mounts of the genus Garrya through Prof. J. BE.
Adams, from the University of North Carolina.

A linoleum block print, “Le Coup de Vent” by Felix Vallotton
(1865-1925), an important figure in the revival of the wood cut, was
purchased through the Dahlgreen fund.

Two etchings by Giovanni Baptista Piranesi (1720-1778) “Veduta
del Palazzo dell’ Academia” and “Veduta sul Monte Quirinale del
Palazzo Eccelentissima” were received as Smithsonian Institution
deposits. Hight etchings illustrating Homer’s Odyssey, by the well-
known Polish artist Sigmund Lipinsky (1873-1940), were presented
by Mrs. Elinita K. Burgess Lipinsky.

History

A very interesting specimen received in the division of civil history
was a piano used in the White House during the administration of
President John Quincy Adams. This piano, on loan from the Juil-
hard School of Music in New York, is a very early one of American
make and bears the type of label used between 1822-29 by Alphaeus
Babcock, who worked in Boston.

A large collection of vases, andirons, and other ornamental pieces
donated by Mrs. W. Murray Crane of New York City helped to com-
plete the exhibition of almost every setting in the First Ladies Hall.

ACCESSIONS 17

As a loan the Museum received from B. Woodruff Weaver two gold
sofas which were missing from the suite of White House furniture
previously acquired. They had been sold at auction in 1902 by the
White House and were recently acquired by the Barnes family of
Washington.

Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower presented the gloves, evening purse,
jewelry and slippers she wore with her inaugural dress. ‘These ac-
cessories complement this unit for exhibition. Two fans and a blue
and white Chinese porcelain vase belonging to Mrs. Herbert Hoover
were presented by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr. A hickory walking stick,
inlaid in silver and bearing the name of Abraham Lincoln, was given
by Samuel J. Prescott.

A gift to the division of military history from Joseph Cummings
Chase contained 79 portraits of World War I officers and enlisted men,
and one portrait of an enlisted man in service during the Korean
conflict.

Outstanding among the accessions in the division of numismatics
was the gift from Mrs. William D. (Gorgas) Wrightson of 43 award
medals and decorations given to Dr. William Crawford Gorgas,
1854-1920, Sanitation Engineer for the Panama Canal Commission
and later Surgeon General of the United States.

The Post Office Department has continued as the principal means
whereby the philatelic collections are kept up to date, forwarding one
specimen of each new stamp distributed by the Universal Postal
Union. Three shipments totaling approximately 3,000 stamps were
thus transferred. The Treasury Department, through the coopera-
tion of T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
transferred an additional 49,642 specimens of United States revenue
stamps and proofs.

Among gifts from private donors, especial mention is made of two
additional collections of great value from Ernest Lowenstein. One
collection consists of four volumes of Honduras airmails, replete with
rarities, and the other of a 3-volume collection of Paraguay airmails.

Anthropology

Storage space for new anthropological accessions continues to be a
problem of first importance, since it has now become necessary to
divide large incoming shipments and to store them wherever space
can be found. This fragmentation not only makes systematic classifi-
eation all but impossible but also increases the possibility of confusion.

In the division of archeology a large proportion of the time of the
laboratory aid was devoted to numbering and cleaning new accessions,
and to washing specimens from Ecuador. Consequently, only a rather
limited amount of work was carried forward on the long-term program
of reworking and condensing the study collections from various states.
Nevertheless, the archeological collections from Missouri were checked,
sorted, and regrouped, and in some cases a certain amount of renumber-
ing and restoration could be undertaken. By means of this and the
shifting of other material it was possible to free a small amount of
storage space.

Owing to the transfer of large shipments from the Smithsonian
River Basin Surveys, the processing of these collections has been a
major operation of the year. Many of these collections are from lo-
calities not heretofore represented in the national collections; and in
many instances they are the only materials now extant from sites and

18

CARE OF COLLECTIONS 19

localities submerged by reservoirs constructed under the federal water-
control program. G.S. Metcalf, museum aide, is proceeding with the
task of sorting and listing these specimens.

The Mexican archeological study materials have now all been moved
to the attic. Through this and other shifting of collections and work
facilities the archeological laboratory has gained increased working
space and processing facilities. Structural work was completed on
the storage racks located on the fourth rotunda floor, and both the
racks and the drawers were painted.

During the year Assistant Curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., and Museum
Aide George McBryde were confronted with the tremendous task of
removing thousands of ethnological objects that had been displayed
in the American Indian hall scheduled for modernization. These
specimens were segregated and placed in the classified study series.

A. Joseph Andrews, chief preparator in the anthropological labora-
tory, completed various tasks including the making of a latex mold of
the Midland human skull, the latter dating from between 10,000 and
20,000 years ago, assisting with the refurbishing of the life size groups
in hall 11, supervising the cleaning and reframing of 47 paintings by
George Catlin, and repairing early American stoneware for a special
exhibition. He also prepared a bust of Mrs. Hisenhower for the De-
partment of History, to be used in displaying Mrs. Kisenhower’s gown
in the new First Ladies hall.

Zoology

The completion of a large refrigerated fur-storage room, in which
the tanned skins of large ungulates and carnivores are now installed,
marks one of the greatest advances in storage facilities made available
to the division of mammals in recent years. The merger of the Fish
and Wildlife Service collection and that of the Museum was advanced
during the year by the rearrangement and relabeling of most of
the skins and skulls of primates. A major step in solving the continu-
ing problem of caring for embalmed or pickled specimens of large and
medium-sized mammals was taken when a series of old and unsatis-
factory crocks and barrels was replaced with 10 wooden tanks lined
with monel metal. The new installation increased considerably the
space available for storage. Toward the close of the year a start was
made on rearranging and indexing the entire collection of alcoholic
and embalmed mammals, and all skeletal material.

The merger last year of the Fish and Wildlife Service bird collection
with that of the Museum necessitated considerable relabeling of the
storage cases and the more critical rearrangement of the specimens of
a few difficult groups. This has now been completed. The reidentifi-
cation and relabeling of all specimens, where needed, were continued

20 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

by division personnel, assisted by Dr. J. W. Aldrich and A. J. Duvall
of the Fish and Wildlife Service.

The adoption of monel-lined wooden tanks also facilitated the care
of the large alcoholic turtles, lizards, and crocodilians. The collection
of skeletons and other dried materials in the attic was examined for
signs of deterioration and all dry turtle shells were coated with a
cement designed to keep the scales in place. Processing and arrange-
ment of the large backlog of uncataloged fishes awaits the completion
of the new storage room.

Although the insect material in the permanent collections is in
excellent condition the majority of the groups are so overcrowded that
the need for storage equipment is readily apparent. The largest task
accomplished during the year was the labeling of the Mann collection,
which is now being incorporated, insofar as space permits, into the
Museum collection. The labeling of 10,350 specimens of the Shannon
collection of Brazilian Diptera and the labeling and incorporation of
the Korschefsky collection of Coccinellidae (ladybird beetles) were
completed. The remainder of the Smythe collection and much of the
¥. M. Jones collection (both moths and butterflies) were also added.

Special attention was given this year to the dry invertebrate col-
Jections. All the dry echinoderms on the ground fioor and all the mis-
cellaneous dry material in the attic were treated with paradichloro-
benzene, a time-consuming task that involved the opening of hundreds
of individual specimen boxes to insert the crystals. In addition, most
of the faulty specimen bottles in the alcoholic collections were ex-
tracted and replaced with aluminum capped bottles, and all leaky
earthenware crocks were removed from the storage stacks and their
contents placed in recently provided monel-lined wooden tanks.

In general, the physical condition of the study collection of mollusks
is good, but there remains a large number of cataloged lots that
should be incorporated in it. Further progress was made in the reor-
ganization of the marine mollusks of the eastern Atlantic, initiated
three years ago. The helminth slide and alcoholic collections, curated
by the Animal Disease and Parasite Branch of the Agricultural Re-
search Service, continues in excellent shape, but the backlog of uncata-
loged material increases yearly. In recent years there have been added
to this backlog the Van Cleave, Henry B. Ward, and George LaRue
collections. The study collection of corals was relocated on the second
floor in order to release space for exhibition purposes.

Considerable time is spent each year by the exhibits staff and taxi-
dermists making up and renovating skins and cleaning skeletons for
the divisions concerned with the care of the vertebrate collections
other than fishes. During the year 17 mammals were skinned and

CARE OF COLLECTIONS PA

made up; 81 birds were skinned, in part degreased, and all made up;
4 birds were mounted; 2 Galapagos turtles were skinned and made up;
and 6 alligator eggs were blown. For mammals, 2,255 skulls and 16
complete skeletons were cleaned ; for birds, 2 skulls and 110 skeletons
were cleaned.

Botany

The portion of the herbarium in which the type specimens are
housed has been expanded sufficiently this year to give temporary
relief from overcrowding. A number of new bookcases has permitted
the expansion and rearrangement of the Hitchcock and Chase Library
and the department library, but expansion of the general herbarium
has been delayed pending the delivery of a sufficient number of storage
cases.

The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the
processing of new material are summarized in the following table:

Type specimens continue to be found in the general collections and
incoming material. This year 525 types were segregated and added
to the type herbarium, which now contains 54,928 types, including
38,688 phanerogams, 9,831 grasses, 3,277 ferns, and 3,132 cryptogams.

The Hitchcock and Chase Library was increased by the addition of
18 publications, making a total of 7,067. The grass species index now
contains 79,597 cards, 727 having been added during the year.

Geology

Franklin L. Pearce, exhibits preparator, has completed preparation
of the collections of Paleocene and Eocene mammals from Wyoming
which he and Dr. Gazin have collected during past field seasons. The
appointment of Donald Guadagni to the laboratory staff permitted
the preparation of lower vertebrate fossils, including the difficult and
delicate cleaning of the rare embolomerous amphibian skull received
in 1954. The entire Bison Basin Paleocene collection assembled in
1954 was cataloged.

Improvement in the segregation and arrangement of the early Ter-
tiary mammal collections and progress in the preparation of speci-
mens of lower vertebrate fossils have been achieved. A backlog of
preparation still exists, however, in the lower vertebrates and certain

22, U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

mammal remains transferred from the Smithsonian River Basin
Surveys.

The great bulk of invertebrate material in the collections and the
small staff available to organize and arrange the collections restrict
the progress that can be made in reducing the backlog of unassimi-
lated material. The fossil sponge collection has benefited by the work
of Robert Finks, a graduate student of Columbia University, who
has undertaken some reorganization to facilitate his own research.

The large accumulation of foraminiferal material on hand, resulting
from collecting by Dr. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., is gradually being sorted
and arranged. With the help of Curtis G. Mudgett, Francois Lascak,
and Joan Bennett, many samples have been washed and concentrated,
but a great many more remain to be processed.

Since the completion of his monograph on Chazyan and related
brachiopods, Dr. G. A. Cooper has incorporated the large quantity of
described materials in their appropriate places in the biological col-
lections. In connection with his studies on Permian brachiopods, he
has continued the sorting, selection, and condensation of the Permian
invertebrate collection. Approximately 300 drawers of specimens
have been sorted and about the same number remains to be done.

Dr. David Nicol has undertaken the reorganization of the Paleozoic
pelecypod collection. This collection has never had a specialist to
supervise it and consequently is in much need of revision and modern
systematic arrangement.

Dr. J. B. Knight has, with the help of Drs. Roger Batten and
Ellis Yochelson, reorganized the fossil gastropod collection and revised
and corrected the generic arrangement. The arrangement of the
species still remains to be completed.

In mineralogy the expansion necessitated by the rapid growth of
the study collections of minerals was completed by James H. Benn
and Robert Jones.

Frank Holden reports the work of the lapidary shop as follows:
388 specimens of rocks, minerals, and ores cut and polished; 18
meteorites cut, polished, and etched; 98 thin sections prepared, and 29
plaster bases for mineral specimens cast and painted. Eight visi-
tors interested in polishing techniques visited the lapidary shop.

Engineering and Industries

The care of collections in the department of engineering and in-
dustries was complicated during the year by the impact of the pro-
erams of building renovation and modernization of exhibits. Among
the resulting problems which the staff of the department met and
solved were: the moving of collections in the storage court to provide
working space for the mechanics, and the temporary storage there

CARE OF COLLECTIONS 23

cf mechanic’s equipment; the moving of collections on exhibit to
permit painting and the installation of lighting ; the removal and stor-
age of exhibited material in the power machinery hall, the health
hall, and the “chapel” to prepare for exhibits modernization; the
shifting of offices and laboratories to provide enough space to set up
an exhibits shop.

Organization of the reference collection of the division of engi-
neering in the storage court was continued. The metrology section is
being centralized on the third floor of the storage court, and the tool
collection on the first floor. Considerable improvement was made in
locating and in recording the locations of the reference collection
material. In connection with the restoration of the power hall, a
number of damaged and incomplete models were repaired and restored.

Restoration of automobiles and other vehicles has been the subject
of discussion with prospective sponsors, and as a first step, the 1903
Cadillac has been removed for renovation.

Orville Hagans of Denver, Colo., is assisting by repairing in his
shop two of the Museum’s most interesting timekeepers, an organ
clock and a Wenzel air clock. Dr. W. Barclay Stephens and Fred
Rau of Alameda, Calif., have continued to assist the Museum in clean-
ing, repairing, and documenting watches in the timekeeping collection.

Ralph E. Cropley of New York City spent several weekends and
holidays in the Museum during the past year adding material to the
outstanding collection of ship illustrations and data which he has
presented.

In preparation for the installation of new exhibits in graphic arts,
about 250 specimens were removed from exhibition cases in the
“chapel” and placed in storage. More than 450 damaged and other-
wise poor objects were eliminated. About 150 prints were matted for
better preservation. Selma Perry, clerk stenographer, improved the
card catalog reference file for the etching collection. About 500 etch-
ings formerly carded only by number were located and new entries
made of the titles and etchers. In the section of photography a 5-ton
air conditioning unit was installed in the workroom, print-storage, and
print-library suite of the section of photography. Prints and rare
books are now kept under constant temperature and humidity control.
About 150 photographic specimens were removed from the northwest
gallery and placed in the storage court.

The project of organizing and classifying the materia-medica col-
lection, which was begun last year, has now been completed. All
specimens have been filed alphabetically into approximately 155 stor-
age drawers, the drawers labeled, and the specimens now await move-
ment to the new storage area. The students from two of Dr. Phillip V.
Hammond’s pharmacognosy classes, Howard University College of

D4 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

Pharmacy, aided measurably in this project by assisting in the filing
of the specimens. All specimens in the reference storage collections
have been classified and grouped together by subject and moved to
the storage court. During the year 527 specimens were condemned,
159 specimens were transferred to other divisions, and 52 returned
to donors.

An interesting sampler received this year in badly soiled condition
was restored in the section of textiles. The canvas background ap-
peared dark brown instead of natural tan and, when wet, the wool
canvas was extremely weak and the colors in the silk embroidery bled.
The sampler was placed for cleaning on several thicknesses of ab-
sorbent cloth. By using a small paint brush to wet only a very small
area at each working period, the soil was flushed through the canvas
and absorbed by the expendable absorbent cloth. Identification and
mounting of textile specimens in the Museum collection by students of
the University of Maryland, a project initiated in 1953, was continued,
and 391 specimens were identified and mounted this year.

The projected renovation of the health gallery necessitated a re-
examination of a large number of specimens, stored on the gallery,
from the former section of foods. Certain of these were selected for
retention and the remainder are being held for disposal.

Many duplicates from the large Krukoff collection of Brazilian
woods, previously stored in several places, were brought together;
and 200 recently received woods were cut and numbered.

History

The work of restoring and refinishing the specimens to be exhibited
in the new First Ladies Hall overshadowed all other work in preserva-
tion of the collections of the division of civil history. It was neces-
sary to wash, clean, polish all the silver, china, glassware and other
ornamental pieces used in the alcove cases and the rooms. Lach dress
in the collection was repaired, pressed, and renovated and each man-
nequin was painted to improve its appearance. The furniture in-
stalled in the cases was cleaned, oiled, polished, and in some instances
refinished before being placed in the new setting. Necessary repair
work was done in the cabinet shop by Ewald O. Bankmann and the
refinishing of the pieces by Wilbert Perry, laborer, working under
the supervision of Museum Aide Frank E. Klapthor.

Special attention might be called to the crest of the mirror owned
by the Washington family which is exhibited in the first room. Mr.
Bankmann made the necessary repairs on pieces of the crest which
were in storage and restored them so that they could be placed at the
top of the mirror. Benjamin Lawless cleaned the frame and the

CARE OF COLLECTIONS 25

original parts of the crest, gold-leafed the new parts of the crest, and
antiqued the new gold leaf to match the old. This restoration was
completed so successfully that comparison of the mirror with a photo-
graph taken before restoration is required to detect the restored parts.

In the division of military and naval history, the usual precautions
against damage by insects were taken. The completion of the storage
area over the new First Ladies Hall will allow the removal of civil
history material to this area, freeing two storage rooms on the west
gallery for military and naval history. Some of the very large and
heavy specimens which will not be exhibited in the near future were
placed in storage.

The usual problems encountered in maintaining numismatic ex-
hibits are caused by dirt, fading, tarnishing, heat, and insects.
Most of the 109 exhibit cases in the coin hall are well over 100 years
old (they were made in 1838 for the coin room of the United States
Mint, in Philadelphia), but they are probably as satisfactory as any
but the more modern cases which are provided with ventilation.

A start has been made in the program of remounting philatelic
specimens, though of necessity this has had to be secondary to consid-
eration of their preservation. The United States section has been
completely removed from display, examined for damage, and placed
in new stockbooks. Specimens have been examined by such authori-
ties as Julius Stolow, Finbar Kenny, Robert Meyersburg, and others
for accuracy of classification and for condition. The entire United
States section is now being remounted and will soon be placed on
clisplay.

Investigation and Research

Anthropology

Physical Anthropology.—Plans for the curator of physical anthro-
pology, Dr. T. Dale Stewart, to study skeletal aging based on the
remains of American soldiers killed in North Korea matured during
the summer of 1954. At the request of the Department of the Army,
Dr. Stewart was engaged for 414 months on this project. While
in Japan he examined a series of 450 skeletons and recorded a com-
prehensive series of measurements. The data obtained include casts
and photographs of skeletal elements regarded as critical in the aging
process. These records and casts were forwarded to Washington,
and arrangements were made with the Office of the Quartermaster
General to have an anthropologist detailed to aid in their analysis.

In a study of trephined Inca skulls, Dr. Stewart was attracted by
the signs of osteitis sometimes surrounding the surgical openings in
the bone. From his observations, both here and in Pera, Dr. Stewart
concluded that the pattern of osteitis is indicative of the extent of the
primitive surgical opening through the scalp and may have resulted
from remedies applied to the bone.

In addition to his research activities, Dr. Stewart served as one of
the American delegates to the Third Inter-American Conference on
Indian Life, which met in La Paz, Bolivia, August 2-13, 1954; he
represented the Smithsonian Institution at the 31st Inter-American
Congress of Americanists which met at Sao Paulo, Brazil, August
22-28, 1954; and he was elected president of the American Institute of
Human Paleontology.

Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman completed a paper entitled
“The Significance of Racial and Ecological Factors in Public Health
Studies of South American Indians,” which was presented in Spanish
at the Third Inter-American Conference on Indian Life. For a
report by J. D. Jennings, G. R. Willey, and himself, “The Indian
Mounds at Ormand Beach, Florida,” he prepared a section on
skeletal material. He also completed the basic work on a study of
the relationship of body surface in man to climate. This study is
based on original measurements taken by Dr. C. R. Jones on the
Wai-Wai Indians of British Guiana, and on comparable material in
the literature.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Di

Archeology.—Curator Waldo R. Wedel completed three manu-
scripts, two of them in co-authorship. Under the title of “Changing
Settlement Patterns in the Great Plains,” he reviewed archeological
and ethnohistorical data on the native occupations of the North
American Plains during the past 10,000 years, outlined the develop-
ment of cultures from the earliest hunting through the foraging to
the corn-growing peoples, and pointed out the environmental and
other factors probably responsible for the observed changes in settle-
ment patterns. In another paper, prepared jointly with Marvin F.
Kivett and entitled “Additional Data on the Woodruff Ossuary
(14PH4), Phillips County, Kansas,” he supplemented the site report
in River Basin Surveys Paper No. 3 with data that include a carbon-14
date of A. D. 611+240 and an identification of trees from charred
wood samples found in the burial site. The date is of interest because
it is the first determination made from material identifiable with a
defined Plains Woodland culture horizon, the antiquity of which has
heretofore been uncertain. The trees suggest a marginal hardwood
forest not substantially different from those of today. Dr. Wedel also
added historical and ethnohistorical data to his continuing investi-
gation of Kansas archeology.

He also prepared, with George B. Griffenhagen, curator of medi-
cine and public health, a paper, “An English Balsam Among the
Dakota Aborigines,” which deals with the appearance in archeological
sites of dated bottles that contained an early patent medicine, Tur-
lington’s Balsam of Life.

Associate Curator Clifford Evans and Dr. Betty J. Meggers, honor-
ary research associate, participated in the South American archeology
section of the 31st International Congress of Americanists. They
presented four papers: ‘“Filiacdes das Culturas da Ilha de Marajo,”
by Betty J. Meggers, “Filiagoes das Culturas do Territorio do Amapa,
Brasil,” by Clifford Evans, and in joint authorship “Preliminary
Results of Archeological Investigations in British Guiana” and “Cul-
ture Areas in South America, an Archeological Point of View.”

During September and October 1954, Drs. Evans and Meggers
conducted stratigraphic archeological excavations in three major areas
of the Guayas Basin of Ecuador. This field work, carried cut in
collaboration with Sr. Emilio Estrada of Guayaquil, made it possible
to place his extensive collections into a chronological sequence on the
basis of deep stratigraphic excavations in village site refuse deposits.
On their return to Washington they completed their classification and
description of the 50,000 pottery sherds obtained from the 1952-53
archeological investigations in British Guiana.

George Metcalf, museum aid, completed a report, “Sites in and about
Fort Berthold Reservation, Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota,” which

28 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

is concerned with field investigations made for the Missouri Valley
Project of the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys. A second report
“Additional Data from the Dodd and Philip Ranch Sites, South
Dakota,” describes a number of artifact types recognized by him among
materials from this site transferred to the national collections.

Neil M. Judd, research associate, carried forward his analysis of
materials collected in Chaco Canyon for the National Geographic
Society and has nearly completed his report on the material culture
of the Pueblo del Arroyo site.

Hthnology.—Curator Herbert W. Krieger completed a study on the
Lucayan Indians of Bahama Island that is based on materials recoy-
ered by the Ernest N. May-Smithsonian Expedition in 1936-87, and
on contemporary historical documentation. Additional research by
the curator now in progress includes a study of historical Indian
tribes of the Antilles and of historic Indian village sites associated
with the first voyage of Columbus and with La Isabela, the first planned
Spanish settlement in the New World.

Associate Curator John C. Ewers prepared a paper, on the methods
and procedures followed in exhibits modernization of the Museum’s
new American Indian hall. The paper was read before the Wenner-
Gren Conference on Museum Problems, held at the University of
Pennsylvania. He has also completed the groundwork for a paper on
the George Catlin collection of paintings of North American Indians
of the West, based on these paintings in the U. S. National Museum.

Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins devoted 6 weeks to a study
of colonial ceramics at the National Park Service Laboratory at
Jamestown, Va., under a grant from the Jamestown-Williamsburg-
Yorktown Celebration Commission. This investigation is intended
to throw light on colonial culture and to serve as a standard for
archeologists specializing in the excavation of historic village sites.
In a paper prepared for publication in the magazine Antiques, Mr.
Watkins described, from specimens in the Old Sturbridge Village
collection, the characteristic lighting devices of New England rural
towns in the early 1800’s.

Research by visiting investigators.—During the year 4,189 visitors
requested information and conferred with staff members on anthro-
pological problems; 4,262 letters were written, and 11,535 telephonic
inquiries were answered.

Among the distinguished visitors and scientists from foreign
countries who used the collections were the following:

Zoology

Mammals.—Two major studies were brought to completion during
the year and notable progress was made cn other long-term projects.
Dr. David H. Johnson, acting curator, continued his studies of eastern
Asiatic mammals and, at the request of the Commission on Hemor-
rhagic Fever, Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, and with the
assistance of Lt. J. Knox Jones, Jr., U. S. A., he undertook a review
of Korean mammals based mainly on specimens collected by Army
field teams between 1952 and 1954.

Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer, submitted for publication his
final report on mammals from the Anglo-EKgyptian Sudan. This
thorough study of the fauna of the Sudan increased the number of
known genera of land mammals of that area, other than bats, from
30 to 50; 29 species and subspecies were found to be new. Consider-
able progress on a similar report on Kgyptian mammals, also collected
by Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3, was made by Dr. Setzer.

Associate Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., completed a revision of
the American plecotine bats, a contribution providing the first clear
indication of the relationship of recent New World species to the Old
World and fossil forms. He also completed a report on the mammals
of the Dismal Swamp for the Virginia Academy of Sciences, made
further progress on a systematic study of the mammals of the Kala-
hari Desert of South-West Africa, the mammals of the high Arctic,
the marsupials of Central America, and the bats of the genus Dasyp-
terus. During the year Dr. Handley completed the requirements for
a doctorate in zoology from the University of Michigan and in June
was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Birds.—Curator Herbert Friedmann completed a paper on parasitic
reproduction in African cuckoos, based on information assembled
since the publication in 1948 of his book on this subject, and completed

30 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

2 report dealing with a recently discovered drawing of the extinct
Mauritian dodo and with the evidence his study brought to light con-

erning the early observers and illustrators of this bird. His investi-
gation of the digestion of beeswax by honey-g ides, pursued under a
special grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, revealed that the
splitting of the wax is due to microorganisms flourishing in the intes-
tines of the birds and not to any avian enzymes. It is now known
that there is a synergistic relation between the two wax-splitting micro-
organisms discovered. Dr. Friedmann also worked on the second
volume of the “Birds of Mexico” and on the fifth edition of “A. O. U.
Check List of North American Birds,” and revised part of the manu-
script on the birds of Gaboon, a study made jointly with Dr. A. L.
Rand of the Chicago Natural History Museum.

Associate Curator Horbort G Deignan brought the manuscript of
his critical catalog of the type specimens of birds in the Museum up
to date and continued his studies on the birds of Thailand, revising
various groups of species where new data or additional specimens
made such action necessary. So far he has completed the accounts of

I] the non-passerine groups.

Germen * Bond muse-m side. revised the ‘dentifications and the

continued his work on the fifth edition of the “A. O. U. Check List of
North American Birds” and also studied the Panamanian and Colom-
bian collections of birds he has amassed during the past 15 years.

Reptiles and Amphibians.—The catalog of type material in the
Museum division of reptiles and amphibians, being prepared by
Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate curator, nears completion; it will
contain about 2,000 names of types, references to the original de-
scriptions, present synonyms, and a list of cotypes and paratypes in
the national collections. Work on the monographic account of the
frogs of western Brazil awaits the arrival of additional material from
the University of Sao Paulo. Dr. Cochran’s report on the frogs of
southeastern Brazil was published and distributed on June 22, 1955.

Fishes.—Drs. Leonard P. Schultz, curator, and Ernest A. Lachner,
associate curator, continued work on volume 2 of “The Fishes of the
Marshall and Marianas Islands.” At the end of the year this volume,
which now includes 32 families, 110 genera, and 265 species, was 92
percent complete. Two papers, “The Golden Tetra, a New Species
of Hemigrammus from British Guiana” and “Know Your Australian
Rainbowfishes,” were published by Dr. Schultz during the year.
Three others were completed and submitted for publication: “Re-
vision of the Parrotfishes, Family Scaridae, of the World”; “Hand-
book of Tropical Aquarium Fishes” (with H. A. Axelrod); and “A

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 31

new Pinecone Fish, Monocentris reedi, from Chile, a New Family
Record for the Eastern Pacific.” About 90 percent completed is a
world-wide revision of the frogfishes, family Antennariidae.

Dr. Lachner published one paper, “Inquilinism and a New Record
for Paramia bipunctata, a Cardinalfish from the Red Sea,” and com-
pleted two others: “Populations of the Berycoid Fish Family Poly-
mixiidae” and “a Revision of the Shark-Suckers, Family Echene-
idae.” During September 1954 Dr. Lachner, assisted by Frank
Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh, collected several thousand
fishes and a number of crayfish in promotion of his projected study
of the fresh-water fishes of the mountain streams of Virginia, the
Carolinas, and Georgia. He was also granted a John Simon Guggen-
heim Memorial Fellowship for a 4-months’ study of certain tropical
marine fishes in European museums; and was elected vice-president of
the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.

Robert H. Kanazawa, biological aide, has expanded to include re-
lated genera his world revision of the eel genus Conger, which he has
had under way for the past two years.

Imsects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke completed a revision of the
Neotropical moths of the genus Orthocomotis and continued with his
study of the Meyrick types of Microlepidoptera in the British Mu-
seum of Natural History, of which the first two volumes of the even-
tual six appears during the year. Also in progress are his studies
of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands (Chile) and
of Micronesia, and his revision of the American moths of the family
Phaloniidae. Dr. Clarke in May 1955 started an extended field trip
to the Pacific Northwest

Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright completed an extensive revision
of the scarab beetles of the genus Psammodius and made further
progress with his studies of the beetles of the genus Ataenius and of
the genus Onthophagus, suspected of being the intermediate hosts of
parasites of domestic animals. Also in progress are reports on the
Scarabaeidae of Micronesia and of Bimini.

Associate Curator William D. Field continued his studies of the
Neotropical Lycaenidae (Theclinae) (hair streaks) and the genera
Constachila, Phulia, Piercolias, and Baltica (Pieridae). Miss Grace
Glance pursued her study of the Isotomidae.

Marine Inveriebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., prepared a
report on the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans of Los Roques and
the neighboring islands of Venezuela, based on collections received
from the Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales La Salle, in Caracas. He
also compiled a list of certain crustaceans identified from collections
made by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel Oregon in the
Gulf of Mexico from 1950 through 1954. His study of the porcellanid
crabs of West Africa, in progress since 1948, is nearing completion.

3, U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

Associate Curator Frederick M. Bayer completed five manuscripts,
chiefly on the octocorallians, including a chapter on the Octocorallia
for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” In June 1955 he
joined an expedition to the Palau Islands sponsored jointly by the
George Vanderbilt Foundation and the Office of Naval Research.
Mr. Bayer will be responsible for the invertebrate investigations of
the expedition during a 4-months’ stay on Koror.

Associate Curator Thomas E. Bowman completed two manuscripts
since joining the staff in August 1954, one on a new copepod from the
northeastern Pacific and the other a description of a new species of
the isopod genus Chiridotea. Dr. Bowman is currently engaged in an
extensive study of the calanoid copepods collected off the southeastern
United States by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife vessel Theodore N. Gull.

Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, completed 5 manu-
scripts during his 81st year, and is now occupied with a revision of
the amphipods of the family Haustoriidae.

Dr. J. Percy Moore, collaborator, who is still actively working on
the morphology and systematics of leeches at the age of 86, during
the year edited with Marvin C. Meyer a translation from the Russian
of an extensive treatise on leeches by W. D. Selensky. Dr. Moore is
currently working on the anatomy and systematics of some leeches
from the Museum and the University of Natal, South Africa, as well
as on a large collection of leeches, mostly of the genus Helobddella,
from Lake Titicaca.

Mrs. Mildred S$. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, has
completed two manuscripts on new species of copepods of the genus
Diaptomus, from Louisiana, and is preparing a taxonomic report on
the copepods of Lake Pontchartrain.

During the year, 23 specialists in other institutions undertook to
identify material of various groups of invertebrates for the Museum.
The individuals who so kindly rendered this service and the groups
on which they work are:

Dr. Donald P. Abbott: Tunicates.

Dr. A. Weir Bell: Oligochaete worms.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 33

Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder made progress on his revi-
sion of the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the “Treatise of Inverte-
brate Paleontology.”

Associate Curator J. P. E. Morrison continued his studies on the
families Ellobiidae, Cyclophoridae, and Amphicyclotidae of America,
and worked on the Hydrobiidae.

Dr. R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator, was occupied, until his
resignation in November to accept a position at the Academy of Nat-
ural Sciences of Philadelphia, with researches on the Assimineidae
of the western Pacific.

Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to investigators
from Federal agencies located in the Washington area, more than 180
professional biologists and students with an interest in systematic
zoology paid one or more visits to the offices and laboratories of the
department, some staying for considerable time. Among the foreign
visitors and their fields of interest were the following:

Phanerogams.—Curator A. C. Smith prepared and submitted for
publication a report on his most recent Fijian explorations, and also
a discussion of the significance of the phanerogam genera that have
distributions terminating in Fiji. Between April 15 and June 30 he
was transferred to the staff of the National Science Foundation to act
as Program Director for Systematic Biology during the absence from
that position of Dr. William C. Steere. Dr. Smith was elected to
serve as president of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists.

Dr. L. B. Smith, associate curator, has continued his studies toward
a Flora of Colombia by the publication of a paper, “Revisio Vio-
lacearum Colombiae,” in joint authorship with Dr. A. Fernandez-

34 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

Pérez, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota. He has nearly
completed a manuscript treating the more than 350 species of Colom-
bian Bromeliaceae. During the year he has been seeing through
press a comprehensive paper on “The Bromeliaceae of Brazil,” dis-
cussing over 570 species and with 128 illustrations prepared by Dr.
Robert J. Downs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Besides
its taxonomic interest, this paper provides a basis for research in
bromeliad malaria, and has considerable horticultural application
because of the high proportion of ornamental species of the family in
Brazil. With Father Raulino Reitz, he has been studying the flora of
the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and with Dr. Downs he prepared
a treatment of the Rubiaceae of Santa Catarina for publication in
Sellowia, the journal of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” edited by
Father Reitz.

Associate Curator E. H. Waiker, in collaboration with Dr. F. R.
Fosberg, completed and submitted for publication a third supple-
ment to a preliminary checklist of plants in the Shenandoah National
Park. He continued to progress in his studies of the genus Corylopsis
(Hamamelidaceae) and in a study of the Myrsinaceae of Taiwan. The
latter project follows naturally after a critical study of the
Myrsinaceae of Japan (published this year) and of the Ryukyu
Islands (now in press). His principal research effort has been di-
rected toward the preparation of a “Flora of Okinawa and the south-
ern Ryukyu Islands,” which is essentially a new edition of the “Flora
of Okinawa, an enumeration of the plants of Okinawa and Sakishima
archipelagos in the Ryukyu Islands,” by S. Sonohara, S. Tawada, and
T. Amano (1952, edited by E. H. Walker). The current work was
started in 1954 at the request of the U. S. Civil Administration of the
Ryukyu Islands, U. S. Army, because of the unexpectedly early ex-
haustion of the supply of the earlier Flora and the urgent need for a
new edition.

Associate Curator E. C. Leonard continued his work on part 3 and
the supplement of his comprehensive study of the Acanthaceae of
Colombia. Revisions were completed for 11 of the 15 genera to be
treated. An annotated list of the plants growing in the Potomac
Triassic Area of Virginia, to be included in a paper on the floristics
of that region by H. A. Allard and Mr. Leonard, has been essentially
completed.

Dr. Velva E. Rudd, associate curator, completed her “Revision of
the genus Vissolia,” part of a study of the subtribe Aeschynomeninae
of the family Leguminosae, of which the first paper, “The American
species of Aeschynomene,” is now in press as a Contribution from
the U. S. National Herbarium. Two more papers are planned to
complete the series.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 35

Research Associate EK. P. Kallip, continued to make valuable collec-
tions of plants in Cuba and southern Florida, and during his visits
to Washington prepared duplicates for distribution, thus adding sub-
stantially to the material sent out in exchange by the division.

Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies on the
grasses of southern Brazil, and completed for publication “Notes on
Honduras grasses.” His “Grasses of Guatemala,” is being published
by the Chicago Natural History Museum.

Associate Curator Ernest R. Schns, published a paper on fascicle
morphology in Cenchrus and Pennisetum. 'Two collecting trips were
made to México during the past year. The first was to the State
of San Luis Potosi in September and October. Over 2,200 specimens,
mostly grasses, were collected throughout the State. Special atten-
tion was given to the Sierra de San Miguelito and the Sierra de
Guadaleazar. Besides numerous range extensions, one very rare
grass genus (Calamochloa) was found for the second time in the
Sierra de Guadalcazar. This grass, represented by an inadequate
specimen in the Paris Museum, was collected by the French mineralo-
gist, Pierre Virlet d’Aoust, in 1881. Not only is the genus a rare
endemic, but the single species is dioecious. It is being redescribed
and illustrated. In March, a trip was made to Lake Miramar in the
State of Chiapas in collaboration with El Centro de Investigaciones
Antropdlogicas de México. Over 650 specimens were collected in the
Lacandon Forest near the lake. Many of the grasses, mostly hy-
grophilous forest species, were new records for the State and one
species was new to México.

Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, continued to devote her full
time to editing and verifying the index to grass species prior to
their being typed. Approximately 40,000 cards, or half the index,
have been completed.

Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, assembled the materials for a
taxonomic treatment of the bamboos of southern Brazil. Under the
auspices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, he continued work
on a manual for the field identification of bamboos of the genus
Phyllostachys in cultivation in the United States.

Under a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Mrs.
Walter T. Swingle is collaborating with Dr. McClure in the acquisi-
tion and processing of bamboo literature with special reference to
the documentation and clarification of species.

Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued during the first four
months of the current fiscal year his work in Europe as a Fellow of
the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. During this
period he examined many thousands of sheets of ferns, especially

36 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL. REPORT, 1955

from tropical America, and photographed 8,111 type specimens
and other authentic material. These photographs will form a valu-
able tool for future taxonomic studies. Throughout the work he was
given every facility and encouragement by the staffs of the Muséum
National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the Rijksherbarium, Leiden, the
British Museum (Natural History), London, the Conservatoire et
Jardin Botaniques, Geneva, the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stock-
holm, the Staatsinstitut fiir allgemeine Botanik, Hamburg, the Botani-
cal Museum and Herbarium, Copenhagen, the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew, the Botanisch Museum, Utrecht, and the Jardin Botanique de
VEtat, Brussels.

Cry ptogams.—Associate Curator Paul Conger continued with his
studies of the diatom flora and ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Md. He
also continued with a monographic study of the important diatom
genus Grammatophora and with the accumulation of notes on ab-
normalities in diatoms. :

Research by visiting investigators.— During May and June, Father
Raulino Reitz of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” Itajai, Santa
Catarina, Brazil, made intensive studies of the herbarium material
and literature in the department in connection with the preparation
of a flora of the State of Santa Catarina. In October, Miss Nancy
Burbidge of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization, Canberra, Australia, studied for three weeks on the
identification of introduced grasses in Australia, especially species
of Paspalum. During June, V. D. Zotov, Botany Division, Depart-
ment of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch, New Zea-
land, examined the collections of New Zealand grasses in the her-
barium, especially types, in preparing for a monograph of the family
in New Zealand. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the University of
Arizona, continued her research on the western flora and in the family
Compositae. Others who spent short periods at the herbarium were
L. A. Garay, University of Toronto, Arland T. Hotchkiss, University
of Sydney, Australia, J. M. Idrobo, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales,
Bogoté, Colombia, and Antonio Krapovickas, Buenos Aires,
Argentina.

More than 750 persons visited the herbarium, usually seeking
scientific information. The collections of the department continue
to be an important source of reference material for staff members of
other Government agencies, particularly the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Department of the Interior. Thirteen informal loans
with 2,821 specimens were made to local agencies, mostly to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 37

Geology

Mineralogy and petrology.—Several collateral problems connected
with the study of the mineralogical nature of Meso-American jade
have occupied the attention of Head Curator W. F. Foshag. One
of these relates to the Aztec stone chalchihuitl, and the identification
of its varieties as defined by the early chroniclers. A study of a newly
discovered occurrence of jadeite in Guatemala has been completed.
It probably was a source of jade for some of the ancient indigenous
cultures of Meso-America. A study of a new mineral species, an
oxychloride of aluminum, from the fumaroles of Paricutin volcano
has been completed. Dr. Foshag continued as president of the Section
of Volcanology, Petrology, and Geochemistry of the American Geo-
physical Union.

A study of the hexahedrite type of meteorites has been undertaken
by Associate Curator EK. P. Henderson to determine accurately their
chemical composition and to compare their metallographic structures
and their accessory minerals with a view to determining if these
meteorites have a common origin. He is also studying the occurrence,
composition, properties, and associations of the accessory mineral
cohenite, an iron carbide, in order to learn if there is any correlation
between its presence and the composition of the meteorite.

Dr. S. H. Perry, associate in mineralogy, at the close of the year
presented to the Museum his library of meteorite publications and the
remainder of his meteorite collection. His large 9-album collection
of photomicrographs of iron meteorite structures, previously presented
to the Museum, will be a source of information for many years to come.

A study of the origin of ore-forming solutions of the Iron Springs
district, Utah, continues to occupy the efforts of Dr. George Switzer,
associate curator, who is working in collaboration with Dr. J. Hoover
Mackin of the U.S. Geological Survey. The results of this investiga-
tion should prove useful in the exploration of these economically
important iron ore deposits and others of a similar nature. An in-
vestigation of the nature of the minerals composing the tests of various
fossil micro-organisms, carried out in collaboration with Dr. A. J.
Boucot of the U. S. Geological Survey, has been completed. Work
has been begun on an investigation of two new mineral species; para-
damite, a zinc arsenate from México; and galeite, a sodium fluoride-
sulfate from California. Dr. Switzer prepares, annually, a review of
the diamond industry, widely used by government agencies, commer-
cial organizations, and others interested in the many phases of the
diamond industry. He also prepares, in collaboration with Mr. R. T.
Thompson of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, the Gem Stone Chapter of
the Minerals Year Book.

38 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, as chairman of the
Committee on the Measurement of Geologic Time, of the National Re-
search Council, prepared the annual summary on the advances in
radiochemistry and geochronology for 1953-1954, including a compre-
hensive annotated bibliography of the works published in these fields
during the year. He also continued as general secretary, and chair-
man of the editorial and publications committee of the American
Geophysical Union, and as official delegate attended the 10th general
assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at
Rome.

On June 6, 1955, the Department of Geology lost, through death,
the valuable services and stimulating associations of Dr. Marble, who
had. served as research associate in the division of mineralogy and
petrology since 1948.

Invertebrate palentology and paleobotany.—Karly in the year
Curator G. A. Cooper, working in collaboration with Dr. H. M. Muir-
Wood of the British Museum, completed a revision of the genera of
the Productacea, a large group of fossil spiny brachiopods. ‘The work
includes both the taxonomy of the group, and discussions concern-
ing morphological variations, paleoecology, and life habits and proc-
esses. In addition, Dr. Cooper described a collection of brachiopods
from Arizona, a rare occurrence in American Cretaceous rocks.

Work was continued by Dr. Cooper on the description of Permian
brachiopods from Oregon. ‘This fauna is related to the Russian Per-
mian forms, and is new to the United States. In preparation for his
study of the Permian brachiopods of the Glass Mountains of Texas,
considerable time was spent in the sorting and organizing of the ma-
terial obtained by the etching of the silicified forms from limestone
blocks. The superb material recovered will yield much information
on the anatomy of the animals, their life habits, and their ecological
environment.

Associate Curator Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr., and Research Associate
Helen Tappan Loeblich have worked continuously on the Treatise of
Invertebrate Paleontology (Foraminifera), a natural classification of
the Foraminifera based on phylogeny and geological occurrence, with
definitive descriptions of all known genera, each description accom-
panied by precisely executed drawings. About 1,500 genera of smaller
Foraminifera will be included in the work. In addition, they have
published a revision of some Recent foraminiferal genera. Mrs. Loe-
blich has completed studies on Jurassic Foraminifera from Alaska,
and has in preparation a volume on Cretaceous Foraminifera.

Associate Curator David Nicol completed and published an analysis
of the Arctic marine pelecypod fauna and its significance in ecological
interpretation, and is continuing morphological studies of the bizarre
and unusual Paleozoic genus Conocardium.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 39

Dr. J. B. Knight, research associate in paleontology, continued work
on the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Gastropoda), a classi-
fication with definitive descriptions and illustrations of all known
genera of Paleozoic gastropods. He was assisted in this by Drs. Roger
Batten and Ellis Yochelson.

The studies of Dr. R. §. Bassler, research associate in paleontology,
on Ordovician cystids have been delayed by a serious accident suffered
by him. His project is almost completed.

Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin completed and sub-
mitted for publication a description and taxonomic revision of the
upper Eocene artiodactyls, or even-toed ungulates, of North America.
These include 6 families, 18 genera, and 35 species. It isin the Hocene
epoch that the origins of the artiodactyl families are to be found, and
this study will help to determine the phylogenetic sequences leading to
the better known Oligocene forms. Dr. Gazin also completed his
description of the Paleocene mammalian fauna of the Bison Basin
in Wyoming, a study that yielded 19 new species and 2 new genera.
During the early summer of 1954 Dr. Gazin, accompanied by Mr. F. L.
Pearce, carried on field work in the Paleocene beds of the Bison Basin
of Wyoming, and the lower Eocene Knight formation of the Washakie,
Great Divide, and upper Green River Basins.

Dr. Gazin continued to serve as chairman of the Eocene subcom-
mittee of the committee of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology
preparing a new “Nomenclature and Correlation of the North Ameri-
can Continental Tertiary,” a cooperative project, the results of which
will be published by the Geological Society as a memoir.

Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle, who has been engaged on the plan-
ning of the new exhibition hall of lower vertebrate fossils, made some
progress on his program of research, which includes as its major proj-
ects the detailed study of the fossil fish fauna of the middle Hocene
Green River shales, and the Mesozoic origins of teleostean or common
fishes from holostean, or ray-finned fishes. A description of a remark-
able specimen of a pleuropterygian shark preserved 3-dimensionally in
a phosphate nodule from the upper Devonian Chattanooga shale of
Tennessee was completed in collaboration with Dr. Stuart W. Maher
of the Tennessee Geological Survey. Working in collaboration with
Dr. Bobb Schaeffer he also completed a study of sharks, lung-fishes,
and ray-finned fishes represented in collections from seven new oc-
currences in Brazil.

During the summer of 1954 Dr. Dunkle carried on a search for fossil
fish and reptiles near Paris, Idaho; Cody, Wyo., and Logan and Mon-
ticello, Utah. Later, with Exhibits Worker Donald Guadagni, he

40 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

explored the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fine examples of fos-
sil fish and other vertebrate forms suitable for exhibition.

Research by outside investigators——Among investigators other
than those of government agencies, who have assisted the department
of geology with the study of Museum material, and who in turn have
received help from the staff and the collections, are: Dr. T. W.
Amsden, The Johns Hopkins University, who is studying a collection
of Silurian (St. Clair) brachiopods from Arkansas; Dr. Franco
Rasetti, of the same university, who continued his studies of Cam-
brian fossils; Dr. Norman D. Newell, American Museum of Natural
History, who is monographing a large collection of silicified pelecy-
pods from west Texas belonging to the National Museum; Dr. Harry
B. Whittington, Harvard University, who is now busy with studies of
family groups, other than those described in 1954, represented in the
silicified residues from Strasburg, Va.; Drs. Roger Batten and Ellis
Yochelson, who as graduate students of Columbia University collabo-
rated with Dr. Knight on Permian gastropod studies; Dr. Francis G.
Stehli, California Institute of Technology, who is studying some tere-
bratuloid brachiopod collections; Dr. A. K. Miller, University of
Iowa, who is studying the Museum’s large collection of Permian am-
monoids from the Glass Mountains; and Dr. C. O. Dunbar, Yale Uni-
versity, who is studying the fusulines (Foraminifera) from the
Permian of the Glass Mountains, Tex.

The following students of Foraminifera visited and studied at the
Museum: Dr. Cesare Emiliani, University of Chicago; Dr. J. C.
Troelsen, University of Copenhagen; Noel Brown, Jr., Cuban Gulf
Oil Company, Havana, Cuba; Dr. Hans Bolli, Pointe-a-Pierre, Trin-
idad, B. W. I.; Mr. Y. Nagappa, Digboi, Assam, India; Dr. Eugenie
Montanaro-Gallitelli, University of Modena, Italy; Dr. Frank E.
Lozo, Houston, Tex.; and Dr. L. W. LeRoy, Golden, Colo.

Investigators who made use of the vertebrate paleontology collec-
tions during the past year to further their research projects include:
Dr. J. LeRoy Kay, Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, who made ex-
tensive comparisons of his important collection of Green River Eocene
mammals from Utah, with the Museum’s extensive Bridger Hocene
collections from Wyoming; Gordon Edmond, of the Royal Ontario
Museum, who studied and photographed a number of specimens per-
tinent to his investigation of tooth succession in the reptiles; Dr.
John Clark of Princeton University, who reviewed Oligocene and
Miocene artiodactyl] materials and examined the Chadronian mam-
mals in connection with his studies of faunal sequences in the Chadron
formation.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 41

Kingineering and Industries

Engineering.—A descriptive account of the history of the develop-
ment of power machinery was prepared by Dr. R. P. Multhauf, asso-
ciate curator, in connection with the design of the power machinery
hall, for use as a guide to this hall. He is engaged in the first stage
of the preparation of a catalog of the metrology collection, and he
collaborated with Museum Aide Don H. Berkebile in research leading
to the design and construction of models of a number of power ma-
chines, plans of which no longer exist. ‘This research thus far has led
to the construction of models of a steam engine of John Fitch and a
boiler of Oliver Evans.

Associate Curator S. H. Oliver’s manuscript, “The First Quarter-
Century of Steam Locomotives in North America: Remaining Relics
and Operable Replicas, with a Catalog of Locomotive Models in the
U.S. National Museum,” was completed in March and submitted for
publication.

Kenneth M. Perry, associate curator of electricity, continued identi-
fying, documenting, and describing the electrical measuring instru-
ments in the Museum collections. A number of the more than 50 such
devices treated during the year represented part of the large collec-
tion recently presented to the Museum by the Western Electrical
Instrument Corp.

Crafis and industries.—Curator William N. Watkins continued his
investigation of woods used in old and rare furniture in an effort to
determine their origins. He assisted Colonial Williamsburg and The
Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum in their quest for accu-
rate determinations of wood origins, and give similar assistance to the
Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art
Collection, Williamsburg.

In her search for additional unpublished information on the Schol-
field wool carding machine of 1793, Assistant Curator Grace L. Rogers
visited the Baker Library, Harvard University, the Rhode Island His-
torical Society, and old Slater Mill, allin New England, and the Henry
Ford Museum, Dearborn, Mich. Original manuscripts were reviewed
and old company records searched for verification of its history.
Several Scholfield machines examined will be described in the article
on the subject.

Edward C. Kendall, associate curator, investigated the European
origins of 17th- and 18th-century American plow types. Aided by
a generous grant’ from Deere and Company he visited a number of
historical and technical museums in western Europe. His examina-
tion of these collections, particularly in Scandinavia, Holland, Ger-
many, and Great Britain, brought out the fact that American plows

42 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

in use in the 18th century were distinctively different from their Kuro-
pean counterparts. The information acquired will be presented in
articles on the origin of American plow types, on the Hohenheim plow
model collection, on the original appearance of the John Deere steel
plow of 1837, and on the types of plows used on the Mount Vernon
estate of George Washington.

Medicine and public health.—Curator George B. Griffenhagen com-
pleted his catalog of apothecary shop restorations on exhibition in the
United States. The catalog, which included descriptions of 28 resto-
rations from Massachusetts to California, was published by the Ameri-
can Pharmaceutical Association under the title of “Karly American
Pharmacies,” and was distributed to all members of the American
Institute of the History of Pharmacy. Also completed was a study,
carried on in cooperation with Dr. Waldo Wedel, curator of archeol-
ogy, that commenced as an investigation into the significance of ‘Tur-
lington’s Balsam bottles found in archeological sites in the Dakotas.
One of the early popular patent medicines used in the colonies, Tur-
lington’s Balsam of Life is an outstanding example of the beginnings
of patent medicines in America.

Curator Griffenhagen gave considerable attention to the history
and evolution of pharmaceutical equipment such as the pill machine,
mortar and pestle, pharmaceutical balance, and the drug container.
Few pieces of pharmaceutical equipment have been treated in separate
historical studies such as these, and the project, which will include
a descriptive catalog of the pharmaceutical collections in the division
of medicine and public health and an annotated bibliography, will
provide a much needed reference source to aid in documenting antique
pharmaceutical equipment.

Other research in progress includes a history of the mechanical
heart, being written with the cooperation of Calvin H. Hughes, re-
search biologist at the Research Laboratories Division of General
Motors Corporation, and a study of the medical equipment and sup-
ples of the American Revolutionary Armies, undertaken in coopera-
tion with Robert Davis of the Medical Museum of the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology.

Graphic aris.—Curator Jacob Kainen continued his study of the
color prints of John Baptist Jackson, a work that will trace the
origins of color printing in the 18th century and will emphasize
Jackson’s importance as an artist and color printer. It will also pro-
vide a complete descriptive catalog of his work to replace the incom-
plete standard catalog published in 1856.

Mr. Kainen also continued his research into the origins and develop-
ment of photomechanical processes, a study intended to provide a
single reference work for the diverse and complicated history of half-
tone printing.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 43

Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, completed a study of
a hitherto unknown intermittent movement for motion picture pro-
jectors invented by Thomas Armat, noted for his inventions in this
field. Mr. Wedderburn interviewed members of the inventor’s family
and a machinist closely associated with Armat during the period in
which he made his intermittent movement devices. The study is
scheduled for publication in the Journal of the Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineers. He continued work on his history
of the camera and served as consultant to the Navy Department in the
preparation of a script for a film on the origins of the motion picture.

Research by outside investigators.—In increasing numbers, outside
investigators used the collections and called upon the staff for assist-
ance on a wide variety of subjects, as shown by these examples.

Ruth Laudlu, textile designer and weaver, Oslo, Norway, studied
the textile collection, especially examples of early American designs.
Margaret Stratton, Russellville, Ky., is assisting Miss Rogers in locat-
ing information on a quilted counterpane received by the Museum
several years ago.

K. Ramesh Rao, assistant wood technologist, Forest Research In-
stitute, Dehra Dun, India, investigated the cataloging system, study
collection, and exhibition hall of the section of wood technology and
discussed future exchanges and mutual assistance. Professor Weifang
Chu, Forestry College, National Taiwan University, Formosa, pres-
ently at the College of Forestry, State University of New York,
completing a study of the woods of the Coniferae, examined the
Museum collection of woods.

Assistance was given George Bender, editor, and Robert Thom,
artist, of Parke, Davis and Company, in their research associated with
the History of Pharmacy in Pictures; the Armed Forces Medical
Library for their “Exhibit of the Month”; Professor Harvey Young
of Emory University, on the development of patent medicines in
America; and Dr. Philip V. Hammond of Howard University, who
presented a paper before the Plant Science Seminar on the national]
materia-medica collection at the U. S. National Museum.

Jay E. Gordon, of the Naval Photographic Center, and James H.
Culver, of the Library of Congress, made studies of the photographic
collections in connection with an official Navy film; Edmond Archer
of the Corcoran School of Art was assisted in research concerning
the camera obscura and its possible use by the 17th century Dutch
painter Vermeer, and Col. Willard Webb, Library of Congress, was
assisted in preparing material for a television show concerning the
history of photography.

44 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955

History

Mendel L. Peterson, curator of military and naval history, con-
tinued his field investigation in the Florida Straits area during the
months of May and June. His work, carried on under the sponsor-
ship of Mr. Edwin A. Link on board the vessel The Sea Diver, this
year fell into two categories: investigation of Spanish wreck sites on
Silver Bank, and retracing the possible route taken by Columbus in
the Bahamas during his first voyage to America.

His study in the markings and decoration of museum cannon was
continued. During the year he photographed and measured cannon
at Baltimore and Annapolis, Md.; Nassau, Bahamas; Grand Turk
Island; Le Citadelle and Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Havana, Cuba.

Margaret W. Brown, associate curator of civil history, prepared a
booklet on The First Ladies Hall which was published for the open-
ing of the hall. Her illustrated description of the gown of Mrs.
Harry S. Truman was published as a supplement to her “Dresses of
the First Ladies of the White House.”

Curator of Numismatics Stuart Mosher continued his investiga-
tions of American medalists, the works of the die engraver Edward
Stabler, the Hugh Miller collection of Korean charms and amulets,
and the multiple thalers of Brunswick-Luneburg in the Paul A.
Straub collection.

Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., associate curator of philately continued his
research in several fields, among which were sources of United States
postage stamp design and the postal history of Liberia.

Research by outside investigators.—Among the outside investiga-
tors working in the Department of History were Dr. F. M. Fryxell, a
Guggenheim Fellow who is preparing a history of the Dr. Frederick
V. Hayden Expedition; Emerson Brooks, Department of Agriculture;
Lt. Col. George Chinn, Navy Bureau of Ordnance; representatives of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue who examined specimens in the col-
lections bearing on questions relating to the National Fire Arms Act;
representatives of the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief
of Military History; Mr. Herbert Campbell of the Remington Arms
